WASHINGTON, May the house committee on education met to-day the special order for consideration was the Blair educational bill, but Judge Miller nsked delay in order to have time for the preparation of a substitute which he wil! offer (or the Blair bill. Ho desires to have the two bills considered together. It seems very safe to predict that none of the proposed educational will pass at this session of Congress. PLATO'S I'ICKLE.

E.FKllCTS Of A A I May 21. -The president has pprovcd the bill providing for the study of the a of ali-ohclic i and narcotics ami their elTecis in the public schools ol the District of Columbia, the Territories etc. 1 A A I It lias tendency to shake one's confidence iu human, nature to find a i to beat the tariff, nnd when he docs not succeed coming to Congress, for relief, and that is the spectacle offered iu bill that Senator Cnmeron introduced early in the session and it-pealed in a bill of more general charuc- 1 dl 1 by him a few days ago.

In lf.il Bailey of Philadelphia, imported lo.llcu tons of Bessemer blooms. It was a disputed question as to whether the diltv on them was uO per cent, per cent, ad valorem, or cents per pound. Bailey tried to get the blooms in at the lowest rate, and the matter was argued at lengthbeforo.Sccretary Sherman, who decided that the duty was per cent. This was paid. Subsequently the courts decided that up to July 1 when the new tariff wont into effect, the duty was 30 per cent.

Bailey Co. get their, money back because they had paid without making formal protest, and early in the session Senator Cameron iu- KS'ftf'' biu to the firm in question being one-third of the duty they paid. Tho senate finance committee will report the bill adversely. They are opposed to paying back any taxes that were not paid under protest. a few days Air.

Cameron has introduced a general bill to repay all excesses of duties on blooms prior to 1883 The committee will dispose of this in tlie same way. The ten thousand tons of blooms were rolled into rails for the Denver and Kio Grande railroad. These blooms could have been made Pennsylvania, but. even tlie Pennsylvania protectionists preferred buying them abroad. When this bloom case was before the treasury department it was a celebrated case.

Pennsylvania rolling-mill men who oiu not make ingots or blooms were at the same time insisting on a high duty on rails in order to protect American labor from made, and asks reference to tho solieltor- guneral or present it to tho president. Witness replied: "Yon aaked if I had any understanding. 1 supposed that would bo the course because the law indicated that course, and I supposed they kuuw thu law and that they were not going to let the matter rest there. It was a supposition based on the law." Casey Young offered to show by competent evidence that the patent that had boeu attacked by the government had been obtained by fraud from the patent office; that the officer who gave It was derelict in liis that ho issued the patent through corrupt influence, and that ho was paid to issue the patent. Those facts he would provo by I papers or witnesses.

The committee at this point adjourned until to-morrow, when the offer will be. considered in secret sessiou. A UUST GO. The house committee on judiciary to-day instructed Chairman Tucker to report favorably an amendment to the constitution declaring polygamy unlawful. There was but one member of the committee who did not agree to the action of the committee, and he only desired time to consider it.

Judge Tucker said to an ASSDCI- aled 1'ress reporter: "The committee will ieport the amendment on Monday, and will then probably take up the Utah 'ihe sub-committeo has considered FIGHTING ON THE FRONTIER.

The Edmunds bill will be verv a modified, but I am not prepared to oy i action by the committee in what respects. I will say, however, that it will not be iu a way materially to change tlie policy of the government in rufe-euca to pi.ligumy, but to do so iu consistence with i i constitutional law and with respect to tlif liberties of people affected.

amendment to the constitution proposed by the i intended to define. the crime of polygamy and the like as treason, is defined by the constitution itself, so that no t-lcim-iit in flit: dctiuitiou of the offense would be left to congressional action, llnv- ing denned the crime lest it should con- i or be revived in a new State when it ceased to be Territory, the amendment gives Congress ihe power to punish rtui crime, created by tins article, and to the courts of tlie United States the power tn it. Then, in order to prevent any inference a of flu- power of Congress to interfere in the general law of each State us to marriage and divorce; the amend- iin-iii i ther provides that no construction shall be given to it which would deny to each the exclusive power to regulutn a class of questions or to give such rower to Congress. The amendiueu'. was Iramed for the purpose of throwing tlie.

i of the constitution itself against polygamy. As tlie present constitution makes it essential that every State that conies i the Vnion ns we.ll as those already iu it shall be republican in i form of government, so this amendment provides that every State in tlie I'niou shall be American in its tvpe of society, and not Asiatic. That is "the States shall be republican as to form of government and monogamists us to their serial life. Judge Tucker said he had given the amendment thorough and mature consideration. The sub-committee and then the nil committee had agreed to it after full consideration, ami it had met with the general approval from perhaps fifty members nf Congress to whom It had been shown and on whose judgment ho could rely, lie intended to try and secure speedy and consideration for it by Congress.

He was positive that he had never attended one after the inauguration. a tes tolled any person had intimated to witness that the application for the suit would be made, and that witness had intimated that it would be opportune if made during his absence.
